The court has previously heard the victim went to help Carter, who works as an actor, after a car crash on September 14, 2017.

Carter then allegedly “rushed the complainant, punched him in the face, put him in a headlock and bit off large portions of both of the complainant’s ears”.

Carter was remanded in custody to appear in the District Court in May.
